The only neighboring country of the Kingdom of Bhutan that does not have diplomatic relations with China.
Bhutan acquiesces in polyandry and polygamy. Dowry is a custom left over from the matrilineal clan, where several brothers in the family take one wife together. Polygamy is a product of modern society, and Bhutan stipulates that a man can only have three wives, but the consent of the previous wife must be sought before taking a wife, otherwise he cannot remarry.
Bhutan is ranked as one of the "Top 10 Most Fascinating Travel Destinations in the World", but Bhutan is one of the few countries in the world that restricts foreign travel, with no more than 7,500 international visitors a year, and a minimum standard for spending, that is, spending US$200 a day is considered a more luxurious tourist destination! The famous film and television stars Tony Leung and Carina Lau took wedding photos in Bhutan when they got married, and the wedding held in Bhutan made the country famous all of a sudden.
Probably because of the belief in Buddhism, the overall social security of Bhutan is very good, and it is a real "night without closing the house". Bhutanese people generally go out without locking their doors, which has a lot to do with their long-term Buddhist education. Treat people generously, have no quarrel with the world, and have integrated into their lives.
The people of Bhutan consider the head to be the most sacred part of the human body, and they are very taboo about touching their heads, not sticking their feet in front of others, let alone kneeling on their legs, because they consider their feet to be the lowest.

Bhutan's largest economic source is hydropower through geographical advantages, and it makes money by selling hydroelectric electricity to India, which is the bulk of the country's income. Bhutan is rich in mineral resources, such as dolomite and graphite, as well as small industries, such as small businesses that produce daily necessities and food processing. The main economy here is still dependent on agriculture, and more than 74% of these people are engaged in agricultural production, and rice, corn and wheat are harvested once a year.
As a mountain country, the efficiency of agricultural development is very low. Originally part of Tubo, Bhutan was deeply influenced by Tibetan culture, and later came under the control of Britain and India. Although Bhutan intends to maintain its independence, it is still influenced by India in its foreign relations, and due to its weak military economy, a large part of its defense is Indian aid. Of the many neighbours on the mainland, only Bhutan has not established diplomatic relations.
